Care and Maintenance: Cultivating Majesty with Ease

• Watering: Water 'Royal Castle' regularly during the growing season, especially during hot, dry periods. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged to prevent root rot.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring to promote healthy growth and abundant flowering. Avoid excessive fertilization, as it can lead to leggy growth and reduced blooming.
• Deadheading: Remove spent flower spikes promptly to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding. This also helps maintain the plant's appearance and prevents it from becoming untidy.
• Division: Divide overcrowded clumps of 'Royal Castle' every few years in early spring or fall to rejuvenate the plant and promote vigorous growth.
